New Music Friday landed with big drops — Ye released an album called BULLY, joining a stacked Friday that included collabs and EPs across hip‑hop and R&B. (x.com)

Ye premiered the album in a surprise YouTube livestream late on March 27, 2026, and the project appeared on major DSPs the following day. (thesource.com) He posted a handwritten 18‑song tracklist to X on March 25 and added the all‑caps note “BULLY ON THE WAY NO AI,” directly addressing weeks of online debate about machine‑generated vocals. (billboard.com) The record is billed as his twelfth solo studio album and arrives after his 2022 release Donda 2, with distribution credited to YZY and Gamma. (en.wikipedia.org) Credits list a mix of long‑time collaborators and newer names — producers include Legendary Traxster, 88‑Keys and James Blake, while guest spots reportedly feature Travis Scott, CeeLo Green, Peso Pluma and Don Toliver. (en.wikipedia.org) Producer Mike Dean says the song “Beauty and the Beast” originated during the Donda sessions and was later finished for the new project, according to his comments about the track’s history. (revolt.tv) Early coverage has already produced track‑by‑track rankings and attention on YouTube trending lists as outlets and fans parse an album that was first announced in September 2024 after a series of delays that pushed an initial target date of June 15, 2025.
